Ibanez Acoustic Guitar: AW300 Artwood Dreadnought Left-Handed

The Ibanez AW300 Artwood Dreadnought Left-Handed acoustic guitar is a rare find; an affordable solid-top left-handed guitar that looks as good as it plays.

Everyone knows how hard it is to find a decent left-handed guitar. Guitar reviews would have you believe that you can’t have a decent left-handed guitar at a truly affordable price. Well, the Ibanez AW300 takes you beyond decent and brings you right up to a great acoustic guitar for those left-handed players who are partial to quality.

With a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides, this beauty is built on a traditional dreadnought body which gives it a richness of tone and a depth of projection that is surprising for a guitar in this price range. Whether it is the depth and breadth of the dreadnought body, or the combination of woods in its construction, the AW300 has a clarity of tone that is at once warm and full-bodied and will hold its tone far longer than the models that do not have a solid top. It will also provide you with a sound that will let you be heard well above competing voices and instruments.

The dovetail neck joint makes the A2300 easy to play, even for those with smaller or thinner fingers, though the sheer size of the body may still overwhelm smaller or younger players. Great for fingerstyle playing, the A2300 does not respond well to aggressive pick-style playing, and tends to get a bit tinny with too much heavy strumming. But treat it gently and it will provide you with great pitch and tone that will just keep getting better the longer you play it. And, at just ~$299, the Ibanez A2300 Artwood Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar will have you smiling every time you take it out to play.
